Pay attention to the use of moxibustion
Moxibustion should consider the influence of weather, geography and climate to determine the amount of moxibustion. If the amount of moxibustion is large in winter, it can dispel cold and relieve arthralgia, and help yang to return to syncope. Moxibustion should be applied less or lightly in summer, so as to avoid getting angry and hurting yin. The cold in the north is fierce, and the amount of moxibustion is large; The climate in the south is warm, and the amount of moxibustion is less.
Different age, constitution, sex, yin and yang, the rise and fall of qi and blood and the tolerance to moxibustion are different. The elderly or infirm use health moxibustion, the amount of moxibustion should be small, but it should last for a long time; However, the amount of moxibustion increases with age. As for the degree of moxibustion, it should be consciously warm and comfortable after moxibustion, reaching deep and lasting for a long time. It's been a long time since moxibustion was stopped, and it's still warm before you get home.
